"A lean, tightly wound style, boasting cherry, strawberry and eucalyptus flavors, with a hint of tar. Its tannins are prominent for now, yet there's plenty of fruit and freshness in the background. Best from 2027 through 2043. 1,500 cases made, 1,000 cases imported."

"This red is stitched with strawberry, cherry, currant and eucalyptus flavors. Firm, with a fine line of dense tannins informing the finish. Balanced and long overall, with flashes of tobacco and mineral sapidity on the finish. Best from 2026 through 2047. ‡B.S."

"Despite a stern finish due to chalky, slightly dry tannins, this Barolo from Serralunga is delicious and with a very good quality price ratio. Classic sweet violets and fresh strawberries on the nose are allied to a full body and crisp acidity, with an austere finish now that may soften a bit with bottle ageing. Indeed, the wine was aged for 24 months in big oak casks so it deserves patience."

"The 2019 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba is dark, sumptuous and super-expressive. A burst of dark red/purplish fruit opens first, followed by rose petal, lavender, blood orange and spice notes that add character. This is a superb village wine. Don't miss it."

"There is a good amount of cherry and red berry fruit in this expressive red, along with floral, wild herb and iron notes. Elegant and vibrant, with fine harmony and length. Best from 2024 through 2038. 1,500 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.‡Bruce Sanderson"

"The 2018 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba is a rich, heady wine. Sweet macerated cherry, kirsch, mint, orange peel and sweet spice give the 2018 a decidedly racy, flamboyant personality, its mid-weight structure notwithstanding. There is plenty of charm and allure, although the style is decidedly ripe to the point of being exotic."
